The Chinese company BYD, founded in 1995 and headquartered in Shenzhen, has presented an elevated monorail project called "Sky Shuttle." The proposal concerns the development of Bishkek's transport infrastructure, with the population projected to reach approximately 1.2 million by 2025.
Route and government plans
According to available information, the proposed route for the transport system could run along the riverbeds of the Ala-Archa and Alamedin rivers. As part of the initiative, authorities plan to establish a working group to conduct a survey of the selected path.
Despite the renewed interest, similar ideas have been raised in the capital for a long time. Specifically, discussions regarding the construction of a monorail in Bishkek have been ongoing since 2014, but to date, none of the proposed projects have been implemented.
